First Published 29 April 2013, Last Updated 20 August 2013

You might have listened live to the Olivier Awards with MasterCard or watched the highlights on ITV, but here’s some of what we saw backstage.

As the awards were being presented and the audience entertained in the Royal Opera House’s auditorium, behind the scenes performers were preparing, winners were celebrating, journalists were questioning and photographers were snapping.

Our very own camera-wielding superstar Sarah Jeynes captured the scene for us.
